I love this book. If you are into the occult and eerie type of fiction this would just be what you’re looking for. It’s hard to give a good review without spoiling the book but it’s probably the easiest to say that if you are not confused after finishing this book you read it wrong. There is a very metaphoric vibe to it

What kind of a fever dream was that, Bunny?

Clueless meets Mean Girls meets a really bad trip, I could not put this down. Compulsive, claustrophobic, compelling and downright bizarre. I loved it.

I wasn’t sure about this one at the start but I was into it by the end. I appreciate any book that is committed to being as bonkers bananas as it possibly can be. I think this book commits all the writing crimes it accuses its characters of but it stopped mattering to me by the end.  There are some really amazing descriptions but every time she used the “like so many” simile trope it took me out… she wrote it so many times
